Excerpt from Fawn of Sertorius, Vol. 2 of 2

Beside that Sertorius was eager for the em ployment of so fine an army, now largely recruited and better disciplined, he also wished to anticipate the effects of his colleague's seductions. In all great bodies of men, there must be some who are disappointed, some who are corrupt, some eager for novelty on its own account - many restless, dissatisfied, and adventurous - and not a few who, apprehending more danger from their creditors than their consciences, are good soldiers while in motion, unsteady and impatient subordinates when they have nothing difficult to do. Perpenna's legions had been reduced to better order by the example and proximity of more careful discipline. They were eager to partake m the glory of a battle, as well as the preparations for it. Ser torius resolved to fulfil their wishes as speedily as he could, and to make the approaching campaign decisive of the war.
